Paulo Dybala

Ole has already said that he sees him as a false 9.

I saw that. If he plays him in the hole behind the front two like he did with Lingard last season, then it is a serious upgrade. He didn’t deploy that formation weekly though, so it’ll be interesting how often and where he plays if the swap actually goes down.

I’m warming to this idea. He’ll be close to goal with a lot of freedom going forward, which hopefully will bring out his best qualities.
 
I struggle to see how Pogba, Bruno and Dybala all play in the same team. It looks attractive on paper with Martial and. Rashford as wide forwards but feels like overkill.

Especially if we are after Sancho next year.

Exactly. My scenario would be buy Bruno, and sell Lukaku at a higher price with some sort of delayed payment next year. Juve will have time to sell Dybala, who is not that interested to come to us anyways. Then, we don’t have to pay Lukaku’s salary.

False 9 means there is no front two or even front one?

We're gonna Harlem Globetrotter the feck out of the EPL.:drool:
 
I reckon we're gonna sign both Sammy.
Then it feels like summer of 2007 when signed Anderson Nani Hargreaves and Tevez.

Would be an amazing window and would reposition the Woodward/Glazer brigade from top reds into bullshit kings!

Me too. If we do get him which is looking likely I would want to see a square peg in a square hole for a change.

We make so much money every year. We can easily spend another 100-150m next year especially since we will be selling players as well.

Yeah, I’d prefer this. Bruno seems like he wants to be here. Dybala likely only coming for the money.

Sure. I personally don’t care about transfer fee’s or over paying. Just get in the signings and Make United Great Again!

My point remains: Bruno at 8 and Dybala at false 9 doesn’t work. And where does Pogba fit in to that?!

If you watched after Ole took over, he’d start with a front 3, but Lingard would play centrally, drop back a bit and mark the 6 when on defense. Going forward onthe break, both Rashford and Martial would run the channels and try to get behind the defense. When tea sat back, Lingard had free range to find space. Dybala would take that role.

How about this?



Rash/Martial - Dybala

Bruno

Pogba - Scott

Matic​

Ah right OK yeah.
 
For all the naysayers who think we won't spunk this much cash on so many signings, remember that Adidas will start cutting back on sponsorship money next year if we don't make the CL.
Hope we can find a way to get rid of Sanchez as if we sign Bruno and Dybala, I have no idea what Sanchez role is!!
 
Don’t think we need both. They kind of do the same thing: attacking 8 vs false 9.

Would rather we get one and get Longstaff/another as DM.
Why not both? One is a midfielder and the other is a forward. It shouldn't be a problem to fit them in together. Especially in a team that badly lacks creativity like ours.

Great. Yeah that’s works for me. So we basically pick 2 from 3 up top, giving us serious bench quality too.

So it’s about squad depth as much as it is improving the 1st XI.

Really need to find a way to rid of Sanchez! Can’t stand him now.
 
This one’s for all the naysayers and pessimistic fecks out there:



“Paulo didn’t want to leave Juventus because he said he always wanted a chance at Juventus to show his skills, to show his best and Juventus but that’s why I’m told Paulo is so sad now. He’s also angry and was convinced.

And he’s considering the possibility of joining Manchester United. Manchester United is a historic club and that’s why Paulo is considering the move.

He’s so sad for what’s happening with Juventus, with the manager of Juventus, with the directors. He was sure he was going to stay this season that’s why he’s sad and so angry.

But he is now focused on the Manchester United offer.

He hopes to talk with the new manager [Sarri] and he’s waiting because he wants to understand the situation with Sarri and Juventus and because his desire was to stay in Juvé”.



As I’ve been saying the past couple days, shit tier reporters who are trying to generate clicks didn’t make sense then and still don’t make sense now when they say Dybala doesn’t want us yet he’s negotiating/requesting wages from United and has his representatives in talks with us.

Don’t blame Dybala for being shocked that he’s being swapped for Lukaku. I would too...that’s all this really is/was and Fabrizio is now saying he’s moved on from that stage and in talks to finalize the move once he feels satisfied that the right figures and ultimately agreement is reached.

Not too sure what he's hoping to get from Sarri, as Juve top brass have already said theres no point in a meeting as they don't want him anymore and he's going regardless. Infact didn't the information before say that Juve are saying he must take the United swap offer? I really do feel so bad for himm as to be totally fair, he's done nothing wrong other than want to play for the team he likes.

Finally someone agrees with the depth part. It’s good to have options especially if someone isn’t playing well.

Don’t you think there is a decent chance that if we bring in Dybala and Bruno, we cash in on Pogba to the tune of 150m? I do... I don’t think Matic and McT are enough to provide stout defense because Pogba can be, well, a bit uninterested at times in tracking back and defending.

I don’t see any logic.

Yes, this might be good against better teams. For the most of the games is not good because we don’t have attacking fullbacks on the flanks.

Shaw played very narrow, AWB - tends to play mostly narrow in Ole 4-2-3-1 setup played in pre-season. It’s not fake. I watched the games. Honestly.

One of Dybala or Bruno will be on the bench and our transfer spend will be 250 million.
 
Yes let’s start making up fake quotes to please ourselves.
Fake or not I’d still prefer Bruno. Dybala has been placed in a Bale situation. Very, very good player, under contract but suddenly not wanted by a new manager. Better player than Bruno - yes, if fully motivated. I’m just naturally suspicious that if he ends up here it will be for the wrong reasons. There’s still a few weeks to go in the European window, so if he bides his time he might get better offers.

Why? We don’t need to. We are swapping Dybala. We ain’t paying 90m cash.

It’s a 60 game season: form, fatigue, injuries all play a part.

We need quality depth. OGS understands this better than most :cool:

We have been crying out for quality in our attacking third. This will improve us dramatically, won’t have to play Lingard and Mata weekly and will get in more goals. Also it’s 200m spending even if we get Bruno.

Erm no. No other top team will spend cause they are all stacked in his position.

Lukaku’s value is at least 50 m. We can get that in cash from Inter.
 
Can’t wait for a Mcguire Hollywood pass to Bruno, to feed Dybala who hits a half volley into top corner; classic 8 second counter attack goal. :drool:

Ed would then install the Iron Throne into his office.
